THE ROSWELL INCIDENT
By Travis Seppala

GENRE: Historical, Sci-fi
LOGLINE:

A UFO crashed in Roswell, NM in 1947… and the U.S. Military covered it up.

SYNOPSIS:

During Independence Day Weekend in 1947, a UFO crashed in a field outside Roswell, New Mexico and managed to regain altitude, leaving behind a gouge in the dirt and littering the field in debris.

The UFO then completely crashed in the woods outside of town. By the time local authorities arrived, the place was flooded with military personnel from Roswell Air Field who had been tracking the UFO's movement for several nights.

Despite dozens of eye witnesses and the original official stance being that the military had indeed recovered a crashed Flying Saucer, the military managed to cover it all up and sweep it under the rug as a "downed weather balloon".

THESE ARE THE TRUE EVENTS OF THIS INCIDENT.

I need to know the protagonist and conflict in your logline.

Travis Seppala

There is no one protagonist. It's an ensemble piece and moves from one important person in the incident to the next.
